First, an arrangement on my kitchen island made up of discounted flowers from Kroger. ($1.25 for each bunch...2 bunches=$2.50) I love creamy white ironstone dishes. This is a faux ironstone pitcher, but it looks pretty with the flowers.

Next, you have a cute wrought iron piece that I purchased at a yard sale several years ago with it's twin. I bought them both for $3. Since we've been in this house (for about 3 years) they've been living on my screened porch. They're perfect out there.

Lastly, I'd like to tell you about some deals I scored just yesterday. I went to the Salvation Army to shop on 1/2 price clothing day and was surprised with a sign on the door that said, "All shoes $1." Wow. I walked away with 6 pairs of shoes for my kids for only $6. That is so awesome. Here are a few...

The brown leather shoes on the left are LL Bean...

I also got Zach a pair of Bass nubuck shoes for church, a pair of rain/snow boots, and dress shoes for Taylor.

Those are so fun. I need to get in the shopping know-how! I just don't do it:) By the way, I don't know if you've gotten Dave's pesky message, but I'm wondering if you have any "funnynut" pictures of your kids you could send my way via email? I'm doing a fun Christmas present and just lacking pictures of your darlings and Kari's. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks:) Mel

Hi! I'm Jen...

Seriously... so glad you're here. Can you please leave a comment? So...saving money is my thing. I love to decorate, while saving money. I like to spend time with my family, while saving money. Sound good? We should hang out.
